Abstract

Bei einem Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Polyethylen-(PE)-Gegenstands (2) mit einer maschineniesbar codierten informationsmarkierung (3) wird zunächst der Gegenstand (2) extrudiert. Anschließend wird die Markierung (3) durch Beaufschlagen eines Markierfeldes (9) auf der zu markierenden Gegenstandsoberfläche (8) mit gebündelter Laserstrahlung (10) aufgebracht. Die Laserstrahlung (10) wird von einer Laserstrahlquelle (21) hoher Leistung erzeugt und hat eine Wellenlänge, für die der Gegenstand eine hohe Transparenz hat. Ein Markiervorschub längs des Gegenstands (2) erfolgt zumindest teilweise durch einen Extrusionsvorschub. Es resultieren ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung, mit der dieses durchführbar ist, mit dem ein dauerhaftes und möglichst unaufwändiges Aufbringen der Informationsmarkierung (3) auf den Gegenstand (2) gewährleistet ist.

Figure imgaf001
In a process for producing a polyethylene (PE) article (2) having a machine-readable coded indicia (3), first the article (2) is extruded. Subsequently, the marking (3) is applied by applying a marking field (9) on the object surface (8) to be marked with bundled laser radiation (10). The laser radiation (10) is generated by a high power laser beam source (21) and has a wavelength for which the object has high transparency. A Markiervorschub along the article (2) takes place at least partially by an extrusion feed. This results in a method and a device with which this is feasible, with a permanent and as inexpensive as possible application of the information mark (3) on the object (2) is ensured.
